The Perazzi is a fine shotgun (as is the Blaser F3) but it isn't the only option and they don't shoot better than any other shotgun that fits the shooter well and is well balanced. The M21 O/U was designed to be a high volume gun but I don't plan on putting a ton of rounds thru it. I have no desire to compete anymore. I did that years ago, now I'm more interested in just having fun with the great group of retired guys that I shoot with. I'll probably shoot just 1-2 rounds of skeet with it every week. I did want something different.

I have a couple of Citori O/Us (a 1980s skeet gun and 1990s Ultra Sporter). Over the years I've broke a lot of birds with each back when I did compete and both have held up. The Ultra is my go-to clay gun. One of the guys I shoot with has a Perazzi MX8 that I have shot. It's a great shotgun that will handle tons of rounds, but frankly, I prefer the handling of my Citori Ultra. Hopefully I'll shoot this CSMC M21 as well.
